01 Steve Bug You Make Me Feel

Friend began his journey as a music journalist in 2010 founding @psymedia before taking up DJing 2017. In 2018 he moved from South Africa to Vietnam and quickly established himself as a formidable DJ and promoter in the region. From sandy beaches down south to mystical caves up north, Friend played at many reputable clubs, festivals and tropical jungle raves such as Studio Adventure, Savage, Retreat (Equation), We Groove and Equinox Festival. His creatively curated 'This Is' club nights and prolific sunrise afterparties in Hanoi under his humble record label @magicboxengine also played a pivotal role in shaping the city's underground music scene.

Since returning to Cape Town in 2021, Friend has performed at renowned festivals and prolific venues such as Wolfkop Weekender, Bazique, Habitat, Into The Wild, Afrikaburn, Origin Festival and Modular Club. Often eclectic, sometimes obscure, always tasteful - Friend's forever evolving sound is heavily influenced by his nomadic travels in SE Asia, South America and Europe. Never shy to switch up the genre or tempo, his versatile approach sees him blending elements of ambient, house, minimal, techno, electro and breakbeats spanning both new school and old.

KOAKOTI: The Legend of Rhythms Crossing Continents

KOAKOTI is a Russian DJ known for her unique style of Afro House that blends ancient rhythms with contemporary sounds. This enigmatic nickname comes from an ancient word meaning "soul of dance" in the language of a forgotten African tribe, symbolizing the connection between past traditions and the present.

From the very start of her career, KOAKOTI actively toured Russia, performing at well-known venues in Moscow and other cities. Seeking new experiences and inspiration, she moved to Turkey, where she spent six months captivating the Turkish audience with her sets and immersing herself in the unique atmosphere of the country.

But her journey didn’t stop there. The next chapter led her to Thailand, where she lived for 1.5 years, regularly performing at top venues on the islands of Phangan, Samui, and Phuket. Absorbing local sounds and rhythms, KOAKOTI incorporated them into her musical style, creating unforgettable sonic landscapes.

KOAKOTI embodies the nomadic spirit of music, bringing people together and making them move to the beat of both ancient and modern rhythms. Her sets are an immersion into exotic soundscapes, where each performance becomes an unforgettable adventure. Young and talented, with refined taste, KOAKOTI continues to inspire listeners' hearts worldwide.
